Were you up there flying with him Les? Thats quite stunning, I think its the best Gannet shot I have seen. I got to say it, "Nice pic"

Breathtaking shot!

 

[Martyn...]

The eye is that sharp a good optician could work out it's prescription from that image

And you do need to view the larger image to fully appreciate the shot

 

[nigpd]

Les, please stop posting photos that are of superb quality. Your composition, detail and use of light, coupled with technically expert PP work gives me an inferiority complex

Cracking shot Les Would have commented earlier but been busy

Edit. Too good a shot just to say cracking image I love the light on this one, the detail of the bird looks very natural, a bg to die for And a nice crop to finish it off
